Day Reporting

A non-residential alternative jail sentence, which allows participants to stay at home and report daily to a Day Reporting Center, as long as they meet all of the Day Reporting Center (DRC) selection criteria. The Day Reporting Centers include Longmont Community Transition Center and Boulder Community Transition Center. The DRC includes monitoring, treatment, employment and daily contacts. Participants must submit written schedules on a daily and weekly basis. Participants must pay their own fees on a weekly basis. Eligible participants will submit to daily breathalyzers and random urinalysis. The program is viewed as providing close supervision, case management, and treatment in a manner that keeps offenders employed.
